Chapter 19: It's Handsome, So I'm Calling My Brother!
04/01, Sunrise Day.
For the police, being assigned a shift means no time off, but it is different for students, especially kindergarten students, who often go out to play in groups and even complete what they call adventures.
It's almost noon, on the bank of the Ueno River, 3-chome, Ueno-cho.
Several children who were estimated to be six years old were playing on the shore with their pants up, and a cute girl wearing a beige headband was standing on the shore pointing at the shallow water, and after seeing the swimming barracuda, she excitedly said, "Yuantai! Hurry up, hurry up, where are the fish! ”
The chubby little boy hurriedly approached the direction of the barracuda after hearing the girl's voice, but unfortunately he was careful enough to catch the cunning barracuda with his bare hands, and he exclaimed, "Ah! I almost caught it! ”
The freckled boy holding the fishing net smiled, "If you don't pull up your pants, you're going to touch the water." ”
"Ahh It's so dangerous, I almost got my pants wet! ”
After playing on the bank of the river for a while, several palm-sized barracuda had accumulated in the blue bucket, and the chubby little boy stretched his waist and patted his little belly and said, "What time is it?" I'm so hungry. ”
The freckled boy looked at his watch and said, "It's one o'clock in the afternoon, shall we go to lunch?" ”
Without waiting for the girl's answer, the two little boys revealed their puzzled expressions, and then saw the girl in the headband push away the reeds, pointed to something moving in the water in front of her, and asked in a milky voice: "Look, what is that!" ”
There is a toy speedboat in the river, and strangely enough it has a small red balloon tied to its tail.
The freckled boy tilted his head and wondered, "Is this a novel way to play?" It seems to be radio-controlled, and my dad bought me one too, so how about we play together next time? ”
"Okay, okay!"
Just when the attention of the three children was attracted by the toy speedboat, a sudden gunshot rang out, and the small red balloon behind the toy speedboat burst instantly, which frightened them.
"It was just a gunshot, right? It's the same as the one you hear on the TV. ”
"As if yes... And, you see, that balloon popped! ”
The freckled boy picked up the binoculars in his hand and looked across the river, and as he kept looking up, he happened to see four adult men on the top floor of the building in the distance, and the most important thing was that one of them had a rifle in his hand, and the other three seemed to have pistols as well.
He stammered, "Big, big things are not good!" It's a real gun, and all four people in the building opposite have guns! ”
"Really? Mitsuhiko, lend it to me! ”
The chubby boy snatched the binoculars and looked again in the direction of the top floor of the building, only to find that it was empty, and he muttered, "There's no one there?" ”
He put down the binoculars in his hand and said suspiciously, "Mitsuhiko, are you a liar?" Is anyone really using it to shoot with a re-gun? That's only in TV dramas. ”
"I didn't lie to you! If you don't believe it, let's go to the top floor of that building and take a look, maybe there will be bullets left on it! The freckled boy was afraid that his little friend would not trust him, so he plucked up the courage to propose.
The headband girl hesitated for a moment, she was quite interested in this kind of adventure, but for safety reasons, she still proposed, "Why don't we get an uncle to accompany us?" ”
"Okay, let's go under the building first."
.
At 13:06 p.m., a certain path in 3-chome, Ueno-cho.
A white long-sleeved T-shirt with a washed-colored denim jacket, Ritsu Sasashima, who has not received any news of the shift, is enjoying a rare vacation. Ever since that gentleman had installed himself in the Metropolitan Police Department, he had almost felt that he was no longer a member of the organization, dealing with the police every day, and assigning himself very few tasks.
Who has made himself very high now? Gin also felt that he couldn't use himself for an important task, so he always assigned tasks to other members of the action team, and in the name of training them, in fact, he reduced his own workload, and occasionally had time to make vodka beef stew instead of solving food and clothing at the convenience store.
My favorite thing to do in the past was to sleep, because being forced to be a model worker was always squeezed out of sleep time. Ritsu Sasashima's favorite thing to do now is to find food hidden in the alleys, after all, it's hard for him to sleep, thanks to someone.
"It must be around here... Is it the wrong way? ”
"Ahh There's an uncle there! ”
Ritsu Sasashima held the mobile phone in his right hand, and after making sure that he had made a mistake, he was about to cross the street when he saw three bean sprouts coming towards him, which was less than a meter tall and was not a kindergarten child.
"Hello uncle! We have something we would like to ask you to help with, is that okay? "The freckled boy is very polite and you can see that his tutor is very good.
There was nothing wrong with calling them uncles by their age, and Ritsu Sasashima was about to answer when the girl with the headband vetoed, "You can't call him uncle, you should call him brother!" ”
“?”
Not only Ritsu Sasashima was confused, but even his two friends showed puzzled expressions, wasn't the person who called Uncle just now Ayumi you? Why did you change your name to brother?
The girl with the headband stretched out her index finger and pointed at Ritsu Sasashima with a small face, and said seriously: "My mother said that a handsome uncle can't be called uncle, but should be called brother!" This uncle is very handsome, so he wants to call him brother! ”
“……”
What strange knowledge did this little girl's mother instill instill?
Ritsu Sasashima sneered, "Did you need my help because you got lost?" ”
The headband girl shook her head, pointed to the tall building behind Ritsu Sasashima and said, "No! We just saw someone shooting with a rifle in a long distance, so we wanted to go up and have a look. And also... Handsome brother, my name is Ayumi Yoshida, what's your name? ”
Rifle shooting?
Ritsu Sasashima pushed his glasses vigilantly, you must know that today is April 1st, although Japan doesn't celebrate April Fool's Day very much, who knows if these little devils will trick themselves.
"My name is Akami Uzawa, is it true that you say that someone uses a lucky gun to shoot?" He took out his police ID card from his trouser pocket, opened it and said, "I'm a policeman, I'll get caught lying if I lie." ”
"Didn't lie! I did see someone shooting with a re-gun, and there were three men next to him who had pistols in their hands! The freckled boy said excitedly.
"Wow, it's a policeman, isn't that just right? If something happens, don't call the police! ”
"Brother policeman, my name is Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, I really didn't lie to you, you can go up with us and have a look."
"My name is Motota Kojima, and I'm a member of the cherry blossom class at the Rice Flower Nursery School! Come up with us and take a look, if there is such a thing, you can still make meritorious contributions! ”
Rice Flower Nursery School, so it's really a child who didn't go to elementary school.
Looking at the appearance of their self-reported names, it is really a bit of a real-name report, from the analysis of micro-expression observation, they have no signs of lying, it seems that there is really an illegal shooting?
Ritsu Sasashima said solemnly, "I believe you, but you have to hide behind your brother, do you know?" In case the gangsters are here, you don't have to worry about your brother, just run away. ”
"Well, we got it!"
